REPORT OF THE CHAIRMAN TO CONTRIBUTORS, TO THE 
GENERAL COMMITTEE, AND TO THE PUBLIC 

The movement represented by this Committee had its origin late in x\ugust, 
1917, in a visit of the Chairman to a series of moving pictures in New York 
portraying- the fighting on the ItaHan front. Between the acts the urgent need 
^f amhulances on that h"ne 'vas presenter' by a repre'^entative of the ".'Vmerican 
Ambulance in Italy," an' organization set on foot by two memljers of the \ale 
Class of 1918, Mr. Beverly R. Myles, who became its director, and Mr. Evarts 
Scudder, who went to Italy as its representative. Mr. Myles and Mr. Scudder 
had both previously been connected with the American Field Service in France, 
and, on its absorption by the U. S. Government, they had the happy thought 
of establishing and o])erating a similar service in Italy, where, save for an Eng- 
lish contingent of fifty-six cars under Mr. Trevelyan, no outside help of this 
sort had been given. 

On consultation, the above Committee of 43 was hastily organized, and sub- 
scriptions were at once opened by the Chairman. The first goal was the purchase 
of fifty Ford chassis known to be in Milan, but, by the time funds had been 
provided for these, it was discovered that there were fifty more, and the work 
was continued, the hundred cars being bought, completed, equipped and deliv- 
ered within fifteen weeks from the organization of the Committee. The first 
contribution was received August 31, 1917, and was given in honor of the 
American poet, the late Edmund Clarence Stedman. 

Tiie original plan was to have the ambulances purchased by the "American 
-■\mbulance in Italy," above referred to, but after some $50,000 had been trans- 
ferred to it, and by it remitted to Italy, a complication arose, as the result of 
which that organization retired from the field, in order that the American Red 
Cross might have a free hand in the operation of an ambulance service. At 
that time, October 10, 1917, Harry Nelson Gay, Esq., of Rome, who in 1908 
had handled the funds of the American Red Cross for the relief of the Messina 
sufferers, became the official representative in Italy of the "American Poets' Am- 
bulances in Italy," and from that time had entire charge of the contracts, construcr 
tion, and delivery of the ambulances purchased by the funds of the Poets' Com- 
mittee, including the unexpended balance turned over to him by Mr. Scudder. 

The Chairman desires to recognize the value of the preliminary work of 
the "American Ambulance in Italy" in initiative, in enthusiasm, in the early 
work in Milan and in actual construction, the type adopted for the ambulances 
having been worked out by Mr. Scudder and his assistant, Mr. Eugene Brownlee. 



From the time of Mr. Gay's assumption of the work, its prompt execution 
has been due to his devotion, experience and judgment, and to the fact that 
whenever necessary he placed his own private credit at the disposition of the 
Committee in order to obtain and expedite contracts. 

After the withdrawal of the "American Ambulance," the Red Cross hav- 
ing still under consideration the operation of an Italian service, our first fifty 
ambulances were delivered to Italy through the Intendenza Generale (quarter- 
master's department). By arrangement with Mr. Gay, every car was tested by 
it before delivery and no payments were made until this had been done. On 
the 4th of November, ten days after the beginning of the Austrian advance, forty 
of these were in service and the others were delivered on the 15th. Thus the 
"American Poets' Ambulances in Italy" had the honor and the privilege of being 
the first American organization to place American ambulances on the Italian 
front. 

On the 13th of November, war against Austria having just been declared, 
Major Grayson Murphy arrived in Rome from Paris to organize the work of 
the American Red Cross. Consultation was held with Mr. Gay, and it was 
decided that the second fifty cars should be consigned to the American Red 
Cross to operate for Italy. The entire product of the Committee's activity is a 
good-will offering from Americans to Italy, and has been so accepted by the 
authorities. This product includes, in addition to the hundred Milan ambu- 
lances, a by-product of thirty-seven lield hospitals (seven of barracks and thirty 
of tents), made possible by the rise of exchange and the assumption of the 
upkeep, first, by the Italian Government and, again, by the Red Cross, and also 
by Mr. Gay's careful investment. These ambulances and hospitals were all in 
commission by December 15. fifteen weeks from the inception of the work. 
The most recent contributions have provided in addition one or two opthalmic 
units, besides several Ford ambulances for special mountain first-line service. 

The Italian response to this aid and sympathy from Americans has been 
of the most spontaneous and appreciative character. In addition to the official 
acknowledgments of General Zaccone, Intendente Generale. Count V. Macchi di 
Cellere, Italian Ambassador at Washington, and General Emilio Guglielmotti. 
Military Attache of the Embassy, Mr. Mafconi, in his speech at the Campidoglio 
in Rome, January 15, and Mr. D'Annunzio have publicly mentioned the work, 
and in many places where the ambulances have gone they have been wreathed 
with flowers, and in Milan, December 13, and elsewhere, they have been greeted 
with special honors from the authorities. This is worthy of particular attention, 
since the object of the movement was not merely to furnish material aid but 
also to give expression to the sentiments of love and admiration for Italy which 
are so widespread in America, and upon which, as the event has proved, the 
Committee has not counted in vain. Its correspondence is full of the most gener- 
ous expression of this feeling. 

In addition to mobilizing the good-will of America to the advantage of 
Italy, a characteristic of the work has been its celerity. The injunction to Mr. 
Gay at the start was to "subordinate everything to speed," and his remarkable 
achievement in point of time shows how closely he adhered to this slogan. It 
was a matter of constant solicitude to see that there was no unnecessary delay 
in the transmission of funds to Mr. Gay, and, as fast as these were received, 
they were immediately converted by him into ambulances. The Committee feels 
under the deepest obligation to him for the execution of this onerous work, of 
which he has had the entire responsibility. 

Acknowledgment must also be made to the American Red Cross for its 
early expression of its "complete sympathy" with our undertaking and for its 
consent to underwrite the last twenty-five of the Milan group while the Poets' 
Committee was awaiting the receipt of promised funds. 

No deduction was made from the fund for salaries or overhead charges, nor 
have there been any commissions or paid collectors. The total amount of over 
$173,058.13 has been obtained at a total expense in America for administration 
of $991.95. including printing, postage, and telegrams (chiefly cablegrams), this 
being at the rate of about one-half of one per cent. Through the courtesy of the 
American Academv of Arts and T^etters, its office facilities have been at the dis- 
position of the Committee. 

The chairman desires to acknowledge the helpful co-operation of the officers 
and members of the Committee, which, in the case of Mrs. Virginia Fraser Boyle, 



SOURCE UNKNOWN 



■j" of Memphis, and Professor Katharine Lee Bates, of Wellesley CoUege, has re- 

'^ suUed in two ambulances each. Space would fail to permit acknowledgment to 

^ all those who have co-operated toward the success of this movement by secur- 

■^ ing large or small amounts, but mention must be made of Mrs. Benjamin Miller, 

O of Philadelphia, who by herself, and by her friends, through the Comitato pro 

Italia of the Emergency Aid of Pennsylvania, provided ti\'e ambulances, and tu 

U the Chicago Tribune, which procured five, and to the Indianapolis Star for the 

57 one named in honor of James Whitcomb Riley. Full credit for all other special 

funds is given in th-e donors' list. 

The press has been of much assistance. The Boston Transcript, the New- 
York World, the New York Evening Sun, and other newspapers have given gen- 
erously of their space to the propaganda, while the New York Times was con- 
spicuously helpful in its editorial support, and also printed weekly summaries 
of the detailed contributions which were deposited with it. 

Acknowledgment is made of gifts of printing to the extent of $56.65 
by the DeVinne Press ; of cable tolls by the Western Union Telegraph Company, 
^$100; of a design of a poster by Mr. F. G. Cooper (reproduced in miniature 
at the head of this report), and of electrotypes of it by Mr. F. D. Casey; and 
of co-operation bv prompt remittances to Italy on the part of the Union Exchange 
National Bank. Poems specially written to aid the fund were contributed by 
Olive Tilford Dargan, Theodosia Garrison and Grace Denio Litchfield. 

The Chairman wishes to make special record of the unique and devoted 
service to the Committee since its organization rendered by Mrs. Grace D. 
Vanamee, who, as assistant to both the Chairman and the Treasurer, at great 
sacrifices of time, convenience, and even of health, has conducted the arduous 
details of the fund with rare intelligence and system, and with much helpful 
suggestion. Her accounts have been pronounced "a model'' in their clear, com- 
plete and responsible record of a public subscription. 

Following are the names of the donors of special cars and of the persons 
in whose memory, or honor, they have been presented, the general contribu- 
rions being' included in the list as gifts of "American Lovers of Italy." In 
addition is presented the complete detailed list of contributions. Finally the 
chairman presents a general statement of the vouchered and audited accounts 
of the Ti-easurer, Mr. George A. Plimpton. The auditing of those accounts by 
Messrs. Lingley, Baird and Dixon of 120 Broadwav. New York, is a generous 
contribution on their part to the ftmd. 

It is confidently believed that much international good-will will result from 
these inscriptions, especially those relating to Italian. French and English poets, 
l)atriots and martyrs. The American poets have done honor not only to many 
persons who were lovers of Italy, but to the chief men and women of distinc- 
tion in American literature, as well as to other distinguished persons related to 
Italy and to the present conflict of arms. 

One particular association with our work stirs deeply our sorrow and our 
pride and has a note which is both tragic and dramatic. The last ambulance 
purchased With the Poets' funds pays tribute to the young American. William 
Davenport Piatt, who, in the heroic performance of his dutv, was killed in Mestre. 
Italy, in the courtyard of a Red Cross hospital, by a German bomb. Mr. Piatt 
was to have dri\'en the lirst of our cars, the one given by his aunt. Mrs. T. E. 
Piatt Stone, and in closing its work the Committee feels the special appropriate- 
ness of using the last of the genera! contributions for an ambulance in his honor.

Note. It is very much to be regretted that the foregoing report, completely audited so 
far as the American activities are concerned, cannot be brought down beyond January 31, 
1918, in respect to those in Italy, Mr. Gay having cabled that the necessary vouchers cannot 
be had from the Italian government until June 1. As soon as these are received a supple- 
mentary account, duly audited, will be sent to the New York Times for publication, and 
duplicates of it may then be had at the office of the Chairman.
